Quick Tip: Create and configure hostnames with Umbraco Cloud

I have purchased my domains and would now like to configure my Umbraco Cloud website to be directed to these domains. What is the process for doing this?

We have used 123-reg as the registrar of the domain names in this tutorial. However, you will find that this step by step process will be almost identical to all domain registrars therefore you should be able to follow it even if your domains are not registered at 123-reg.

Step 1

Login to your Umbraco Cloud dashboard (https://www.s1.umbraco.io) and navigate to the project in question. In the top right click on "Settings" and then in the dropdown menu select "Manage Domains".

Step 2

In the field provided add all of the hostnames for your new website.

Step 3

Login to the control panel of where your domain names are registered - in this example we have used 123-reg although most providers will be similar. Navigate to the correct domain and then choose "Manage DNS (A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV)".

Step 4

You should now set a CNAME record for your Umbraco Cloud given URL (e.g. website.s1.umbraco.io) and an A record for the Umbraco Cloud IP 23.100.15.180.

You should now be able to reach your Umbraco Cloud website via your chosen domain names.
